Video: Highlife, “Moon in My Eyes”

October 19, 2010


You know how in the intro for PeeWee's Playhouse it's like a whole claymation jungle and at the top of it all is The Playhouse, rising from the clay palm trees like some temple to the gods? For whatever reason, we've always thought about that when listening to Sleepy Doug Shaw's excellent new EP as Highlife, Best Bless. Don't ask us how or why this happened, at some point it just did. Next to that completely imagined scenario, this video for unreleased Highlife track "Moon in my Eyes"—shot by Gang Gang Dance's Brian Degraw—is the perfect accompaniment. Done in a single take, it's as serene as the track sounds, but doesn't feature a single shot of Chairy :(
